The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The Celtic soldiers who appeared here indeed showed no intelligence in their eyes, only a bloodthirsty desire for battle.

The magical enhancement Finn gave them further dispelled any potential fear, causing them to swarm towards Manju.

"You've already seen the Five Strongholds of Piercing City, how can you still have such a naive idea?"

But the grunts are indeed meaningless. These soldiers, who were not previously included in the piercing of the fortress, can be slaughtered with just one more use of their Noble Phantasm.

The cursed magic spear never stopped growing on the ground; the steel jungle was merely shifting its position, piercing one after another the frenzied Celtic soldiers who charged forward.

These charging soldiers did not affect Manshu; they were all dead in just half a minute.

Finn and Diarmuid also chose to stop and turn to face their enemies.

At this point, continuing to expose your back to the fleeing enemy would only cut off your own chance of survival.

"It seems you're determined to settle this today. This is troublesome."

Finn looked troubled; this was indeed something he neither intended nor wanted to encounter.

But since it's inevitable and there's nothing that can be done about it, there's nothing that can be done.

"This is not something a hero should say, nor should it happen on this land."

"This is exactly what should happen in this chaotic land."

Finn shook his head, raised his hand, and began to bite his fingers.

"Oh, so that's the Noble Phantasm of Finn McCool, the one that saved the Knights of Fiona from dire straits time and again." (Collection)

This is Finn's other Noble Phantasm, the Thumb-Gnawing Spring of Wisdom.

This is a Noble Phantasm that evolved from the story of Finn consuming the wise salmon Fintan. Q

Legend has it that the druid Vangus painstakingly caught a wise rainbow salmon, and that whoever eats that salmon will gain that wisdom.

The caught salmon was given to Finn to cook, but while grilling it, Finn burned his finger with hot oil, causing him to instinctively suck on it.

And so wisdom fell into Finn's hands and was acquired by him. Vangelis, with nothing but regret, could only give the whole fish to Finn. 9

Therefore, Finn only needed to lick his thumb to instantly gain immense wisdom. 4

In the timeline of Fate/Apocrypha, Finn, summoned by Darnick, used this Noble Phantasm to find the location of the Greater Grail, enabling Darnick to win the Holy Grail War. 8

"So that's how it is. This land is already changing. It's a wonder I'm a druid."

Having gained the wisdom to seek opportunities for victory, Finn looked directly up at the sky.

"Have you noticed something amiss with the sun? But it's too late now; he won't recognize a cowardly fleeing warrior."

Manjushri spoke slowly and deliberately, but he had already arrived in front of the two Servants who had stopped. 3

Dirumor had already assumed a fighting stance, brandishing his twin pistols in front of his lord.

"That's hard to say."

Finn turned his gaze away from the sun and looked directly at Manjus, speaking confidently.

"Diarmuid, the foremost knight of my Fiona Knights, a warrior I am proud of. It is time for our adversaries to learn the glory of the Fiona Knights, who once protected the land of Erin (Ireland)."

"Yes, my lord, this is exactly what I wish for."

"You've rallied your spirits, so look up. Look up and witness the power of the strong and mighty."

Manshu also abandoned his desire for entertainment and showed no mercy, thus bringing about destruction.

"Enlil! His powerful cry, his divine word, is everywhere!"

His words are immutable, his judgments are eternal. He looks up and shakes the mountains, he releases light that pierces through them!

The King of Heaven and Earth, the supreme and greatest ruler, was radiating his power.

Manshu raised the cage-like spear in his hand, channeling the power from the ground.

The mountains continued to tremble and collapse, triggering a series of earthquakes from deep underground.

Enlil was an ancient and revered Mesopotamian deity worshipped by the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hurians.

In the creation myth, he separated heaven and earth to make the world habitable for humankind. In the Babylonian flood, he was the cause of the flood because humans made too much noise, disturbing his sleep, so he sent down a flood to destroy humanity.

Enlil is generally considered the Lord of Wind, but some believe that the "lil" in his name does not mean wind, but rather spirit or illusion, thus some consider him also the Lord of Spirit.

Of course, a very small minority believe that lil does not refer to any specific meaning, and judge that Enlil should be a cosmic god without any specific domain.

In the Sumerian accounts, Enlil was a benevolent god, like a loving father, but occasionally he would transform into raging winds and wild bulls.

The Mesopotamians envisioned him as the creator, father, king, and ruler of the universe until the Babylonian period, when Marduk replaced Enlil as the supreme ruler.

When this supreme god sat on his white throne, the earth bowed in fear before him, and the sky showed its humility before him.

Here, the summoned power, in harmony with the earth, falls in the form of wind.

The gale not only raged across the ground, but also shook the earth beneath our feet.

The terrible earthquake has torn a gap in the plain, and it is unlikely that anyone would survive this natural disaster.

"Since you've made up your mind, then just die quickly."

The calamities brought about by this generation's ruthless actions are naturally intended to annihilate the enemies ahead, leaving not even a trace.

Death is naturally the best thing to offer, but on this land, keeping soldiers in high spirits is a real problem.

Dirumdor, at the forefront, was the first to disappear into the fissure in the storm, but Finn held on.

Having regained his wisdom, he found a foothold to hold onto, then unleashed his Noble Phantasm, summoning the waters of Nuada.

The druid's magic steadied him, and the azure waters saved him from the narrow gap.

But this was only a strain; the raging storm would soon tear through his Noble Phantasm.

Enlil's gales possess a power capable of separating heaven and earth; even a casual storm is enough to uproot the land.

But then the sun began to eclipse, and Finn, whose strength was about to be exhausted, showed a look of joy.

"It's not too late. Come on, let me shine!"

Finn laughed joyfully, and then he saw light streaming down from the dark sun, bathing him in it.

"They picked Finn. I initially thought Diarmuid might have a better chance, but I completely overlooked the fact that he wouldn't survive with only dual pistols."

Manshu shook his head and was about to continue speaking.

"Father Enlil sits enthroned in the sacred temple, the magnificent temple!"

He—Nunamnir, his rule, his kingdom, is perfect!

The gods of the earth worshiped before him, and the Anunnaki gathered around him, coming together with unwavering faith in his wisdom.

Sending aid is not unacceptable, although it adds an element of the unknown. But if it is destroyed, everything will simply vanish.

The power of authority is like a hammer that has been grasped. Manju raised his hand and then brought it down, and the highly condensed and compressed wind was naturally swung down in this way.

This is the storm of the mighty, the perfect power of the One. The corpses and the original scenery on the ground have vanished, revealing the hellish landscape before creation.

Meanwhile, stone pillars flew out of the storm ahead, and in the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of stones were thrown out.

"The Road to Giants?"

Manju let out a surprised sound. This was a story that could be recognized at a glance, but it was not the power that Finn possessed as the Lancer in the real world.

The Giant's Causeway is a famous landmark in Northern Ireland, where more than 40,000 basalt columns form a forest of columns stretching for several kilometers along the coast.

In legends, the Giant's Causeway is said to be a passage across the sea formed by Finn throwing boulders off a cliff in pursuit of the giants.

Among them are two giant rocks, one of which smashed into the ground, forming Lough Ney, the largest lake on the island of Ireland, and the other fell into the Irish Sea, forming the Isle of Man.

This treasure, formed by terrifying brute force, instantly unleashed a rain of massive boulders.

When the howling storm destroyed the rain of stones, Manju could only see a dark figure riding a horse reaching the horizon.

"Should we choose to retreat or remain in the same position?"

Manshu didn't chase after them, but instead looked at the sun in the sky, which had already completed its eclipse.

"A mediocre result, but I won't take it as a concession from you."

Chapter Four Negotiation

The battle continued to spread across American soil. After confirming Dilumdo's death, McManshu did not pursue Finn but instead chose a random direction and continued walking forward.

Although the Holy Grail War was previously held in the United States, there was no need to preview the entire United States there; knowing the layout of the cities was enough.

Therefore, Manju did not collect any maps or descriptions of this land. If he were to speak, he would probably only have a general impression, which would not serve as a basis or evidence for directions.

It doesn't matter, it's the same wherever I go. If I can't communicate with him, I'll eliminate him, and if I can communicate, I'll have a few words and decide based on the situation.

Anyway, the situation here can't be resolved quickly in time. It's the original boss here. If you just kill it directly, it will still cause a lot of trouble.

So there's no need to rush. Just look around and see what you can find, then just keep walking along the road.

As for Finn, the outcome will likely be decided at their next expected meeting, and this time, there probably won't be another chance to seek him out.

The dark sun has replaced the original sun, hanging high in the sky. That dark and incomplete sun is gradually turning this place into its territory.

However, it seems that Tescatlipoca does not intend to take action himself, but rather to modify this world to run according to the rules he desires.

However, it is difficult to guess what it will actually look like.

After all, Tescatlipoca is a fickle god, as unpredictable as the evening breeze; elusiveness is his very nature.

As Manshu walked across the American landscape, it became clear that the mechanized units were at a disadvantage and were at a disadvantage.

The wreckage of mechanical legions can often be seen by the roadside, while the Celtic soldiers are mostly seen with broken weapons, and their bodies appear to have been recovered.

However, the mechanical soldiers were likely defeated and retreated, lacking the capacity to recover the battlefield, leaving the wreckage exposed on the ground.

After wandering around for a while, Manju heard the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire again, as well as the presence of Servants.

"Two Servants with weak Spirit Origin strength have a bit of the Celtic feel I've seen before, and there's another one who doesn't even have any mystery?"

Manshu discerned the aura he sensed; it wasn't someone he knew, but he did recognize some of the people he knew.

……

"Old Green, we're out of bullets, please cover me."

Holding two pistols and dressed like a Western bandit, the blond boy shouted at the green-clad man not far away.

“Received. Also, just one more thing, isn’t calling him ‘Old Green’ a bit too much?”
